STRETCH MARKS I realised something over the last few weeks I preach so much about body confidence yet I edit all my photos so there s no stretch marks because I felt like that s what you HAD to do no one will want you with stretch marks They re ugly they re this they re that we ll do you know what THEY RE ME My body has never looked like a lot of other girls I had a baby at 17 and my genetics along with the fact I went from size 6 to size 16 meant I got stretch marks and for years I ve been almost ashamed of them wishing every day they d be gone so I could enjoy my body and look like everyone else look normal Well THERE IS NO NORMAL So I ve decided that I m going to embrace them It may not be everyone s cup of tea and whilst I respect that I need to respect and love myself more and realise that even with my mum bod after all I am a Mum it s just me And I can t be bothered to edit photos for hours just to give a false sense of perfection So NO MORE From now on I will be leaving my stretch marks unedited And not putting so much pressure on myself to look perfect just because I feel like other people do I m me and my stretch marks don t define me Remember everyone SOCIAL MEDIA IS NOT REAL But now I m going to do my part and show more of the REAL me not the airbrushed version we ve all come to expect
